The Nun is a prequel, exploring the origins of The Conjuring 2‘s evil nun, Valek; set in 1952, the movie follows a priest and his assistant as they look into the suicide of a young woman in a Romanian abbey.

Together they uncover an unholy secret. Risking not only their lives but their faith and their very souls, they confront a malevolent force as the abbey becomes a battleground between the living and the damned.

Replete with religious imagery and dark, empty corridors, The Nun looks to be a fright fest.
